Swap rate

Definition 1 The difference, whether positive or negative, between the forward Exchange rate and the Spot rate for a given Currency, usually expressed in Point. Definition 2 In the case of an Interest rate swap, the market Interest rate Paid by the Party responsible for the fixed payments. In general, a well-defined Market rate exists for this payment, and when a Swap is initiated, the Fixed rate paid is usually quite Close to the Market swap rate. However, as the Swap matures the Fixed rate paid on the Swap stays constant, while the Swap rate might change, and these two rates can diverge.
